the lion and the dragon

by Bradd Howard

Are you a dragon?
you asked.
You saw right through my 1976-ish years
right through my scales and knew.
I stared at you with a lion's eyes
pondering if you were food or a mate.
Our egos are too large to exist in the same room.
They touch, bump, and collide
sending sparks of sweaty love to rain down upon our bodies.
We are both the lion and the dragon
in a circular dance
jaws, fangs, scales... clash.
sex was just one more tool we used
to build...
Build this connection
Connection based on ego, warm touches,
and fiery eyes.

Author's Note: This is 5 mins old and very rough... just throwing out some preliminary ideas. It is by no means polished so please feel free to tell me what works and what doesn't. (ok so I just wanted to post something new and I didn't have anything so I just jotted this down very quickly) :)

I'm Leo with Scorpio rising so this poem caught my attention immediately. Excellent work, Bradd.
